Richmond Station cycle hub is only accessible using stairs

"Designed to make it "easier for residents", the council says the travel hub aims to "support a cleaner, healthier and more vibrant town centre," where "people don’t need to rely on cars".

Except, the ground floor of the building has been given over to vehicle parking, with bikes relegated to the floor above - a space only accessible using a staircase."

@ascentale @bikenite A8: I love this shirt and wear it somewhat sparingly as a result. It's old.

The reptile is a tuatara, an endemic species.

I don't think this is a Maruia Society shirt, but it is vaguely possible.

And our last question of the week:

Q8. Show us a photo from something cycle-related from the past week! It doesn't have to be anything special at all.

If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!

@edd asks:

I recently moved to a place with lots of 8-12% grade hills and bring my kids and groceries around by bike frequently which is... rough.

Q3. Beyond ditching the kids or changing the drivetrain to, would getting clips actually help with climbs for upstroke pulling? Will I still fit in my pants when the back quads catch up with the front?

@lnlyisol asks:

I'd just turned to head home, when I thought "That sounds funny🤔"

I stopped & found my front tyre deflated. The noise was different enough to alert me 🤯

Q2. My thoughts were:

1. Is distance from home related to likelihood of a problem?

2. Can other problems be picked up from subtle clues?

3. People with musical training, can you tell cadence/speed by listening to the frequency of pedaling, or the sound of the hub?

So this happened. Again. Gardai was involved this time. But I somehow managed to get to another date with the guy that I am falling for. I am okay, the bike… so and so, but a friend helped me order a new electric one today, go figure! Unboxing soon! #cycling #dublin

A more comfortable and healthier bicycle saddle - who wouldn't want that? The bicycle manufacturing industry does not seem too keen on it.

I wonder if they could successfully market these seats direct to consumers?

For cyclists in #Philadelphia:
A #sinkhole at least 8x10 feet has developed on the paved portion of the Schuylkill River Trail in Center City. The trail is closed between Race and JFK, with a detour on to 22nd (northbound) and 23rd (southbound).
